Arachidonoyl glycine (N-arachidonyl glycine; NAGly) has been isolated from cell cultures treated with arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA; anandamide),1 from extracts of mammalian brain,2,3 and has also been synthesized as an analog of AEA for structure/activity testing.4 NAGly may be produced endogenously via oxidation of AEA, or by transacylation of arachidonoyl CoA. NAGly is reported to have analgesic activities in whole animal experiments.[1],[2],[3] Since it seems to be a very poor ligand for the CB1 receptor,[4] these effects are probably mediated via other signaling pathways.
